Fall leaf garland

This is an intermediate Tunisian crochet leaf garland pattern inspired by the beautiful autumn colors of falling leaves. This shape is typical of plane or sycamore leaves.

The basic, in the round construction is easy to memorize. The leaf is worked in short rows, with increases and stitches cast off to create the shape.

The leaf itself is customizable, as you can change stitch types to add more texture, such as purl stitches along the "veins" of the leaves.

You can also add picots along the leaf edges to create a more rugged edge, to add some variety and suggest different types of trees.
